# XTF2\_FILEDROP

> [HTML Version](xtf2_filedrop.htm)

Flag XTF2\_FILEDROP enables the ability to detect when a file is dragged from Explorer—or a Windows Shell dialog such as a File Open dialog—and dropped on the XTREE control. The drop event triggers exitcode -75. The application must then call [MX\_DRAGDROP](mx_dragdrop.htm.md) to retrieve the filespec of the dropped file, with which it can do whatever it wants, perhaps adding the file name or related attributes as an item to the tree contents.
